"There were lots of people in the box, Eden Hazard makes the shot," he added. "We see one player diving like a keeper and touching with his hands. From the bench we couldn't see which player it was.

"It was a penalty and a red card, unfortunately the wrong boy came off. Even the linesman couldn't help him to make the right decision. The important decision - is it a penalty? Yes. Is it a red card? Yes."
